net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices

2017-02-07T15:51:46+00:00

Allow board support code to collect pre-declarations for MDIO devices by
registering them with mdiobus_register_board_info(). SPI and I2C buses
have a similar feature, we were missing this for MDIO devices, but this
is particularly useful for e.g: MDIO-connected switches which need to
provide their port layout (often board-specific) to a MDIO Ethernet
switch driver.

mdio: Demote print from info to debug in mdio_device_register

2017-01-08T23:14:45+00:00

While it is useful to know which MDIO device is being registered, demote
the dev_info() to a dev_dbg().

mdio: Demote print from info to debug in mdio_driver_register

While it is useful to know which MDIO driver is being registered, demote
the pr_info() to a pr_debug().

mdio: Abstract device_remove() and device_free()

2016-01-07T19:31:27+00:00

Make device_free and device_remove operations in the mdio device
structure, so the core code does not need to differentiate between
phy devices and generic mdio devices.

mdio: Add support for mdio drivers.

2016-01-07T19:31:27+00:00

Not all devices on an MDIO bus are PHYs. Meaning not all MDIO drivers
are PHY drivers. Add support for generic MDIO drivers.
